The way I see it, Windows users are the beta testers, for once 😂

Firefox dev clarifies there will be an AI 'kill switch'

It's sad because I'm pretty sure that Mozilla should have surveyed their users before going all-in on AI.

This way they might have seen that their users don't need these AI features.

Better yet, the surveys may have pointed what the users actually want, and might even have lead to a community-driven roadmap.

Instead of that, Mozilla is having as many bad ideas as they have new CEOs...

Many developers leave GZDoom due to leader conflicts and fork it into UZDoom

Love the UZDoom repo desription 🤣

UZDoom is a feature centric port for all Doom engine games, based on ZDoom, adding an advanced renderer, powerful scripting capabilities, and forked under a

openSUSE Leap 16.0 will need Steam gamers to install some extras due to no 32-bit
8 Aug 2025 at 9:26 pm UTC

The thing is... All the known distributions will drop 32-bit at some point. And for the same reasons why 16- and 8-bit binaries are not suported (natively) anymore.

So it's not a matter of "if", but rather "when".

Direct3D to Vulkan layer DXVK v2.7 released with performance improvements and Intel support upgrades

How do you enable "Resizable BAR"? How do you know if you can enable it?

Minecraft (Java) is going through quite an overhaul for the upcoming Vibrant Visuals update

I still wonder why MS decided to rewrite Minecraft with the Bedrock version. Seems like a lot of maintenance burden they added on themselves.

Manjaro KDE Plasma plans move to Wayland by default

@lib-inst you copy pasted the same comment you did on the other article saying Ubuntu will go with Wayland.

You don't give any argument why, in your specific case, Wayland seems so bad.

You are just spreading FUD, shame on you.

Ubuntu 25.10 goes all-in with Wayland, dropping support for GNOME on Xorg

I'm on Fedora which defaulted to Wayland for a few years now and it was nice before, it is perfect now.

The only time I had issue was when I had to install proprietary software to be able to work with a Windows machine for my job.

But at the time, both Wayland and XWayland were still "young". I'm sure these edge cases are much better now.

BTW, Ubuntu removes Wayland, but keeps XWayland, so software relying solely on X11 will still work. Just through the XWayland layer.

Mesa 25.1 will default to Zink+NVK instead of the old Nouveau OpenGL driver for NVIDIA on Linux
16 Mar 2025 at 3:25 pm UTC

I'll be super interested to see an AMD benchmark between pure OpenGL driver (i.e. radeonsi) and OpenGL over Vulkan driver (i.e. zink+radv).

If the bridge solution is on par with native drivers, it could be the end of having to maintain two APIs!

Nintendo DMCA nukes 8,535 GitHub copies of Switch emulator yuzu

It was written in the sky that Yuzu will be caught by Nintendo eventually. I'm sure Ryujinx is next in line.

Yuzu emulates a console that is still being sold by Nintendo. Did you really expect Nintendo to be ok with that? It's already hard for retro-gaming emulators...
